The Hidden by Melanie Golding
5.0
The Hidden - an impressive, beautifully written book. It's about selkies, and mothers who let go of their little ones to give them a better chance, and complex mother/daughter relationships, and a psychopath in the middle of it all.
I loved the idea that Constance looking for her coat could be portrayed to others as her losing her grasp on reality. I loved that Ruby was open to believing. The characters were so well written, the locations brought to life, the horror and the sadness, and the longing Constance has for the sea - all perfectly done.
Thank you for the opportunity to read this. Highly (HIGHLY) recommend it, and will likely be pushing it on people I know as soon as it comes out.
